Chandos Green—Disability & Hate Crimes
How do we stand up for people with disabilities and show solidarity? Last month, Chandos experienced several separate incidents where he was mocked because of his disability. This is a hate crime. We define hate crimes as any crimes that are targeted at a person because of hostility or prejudice towards that person’s disability, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity.
